Object 1 Partners with Nottingham Forest FC and Why Dubai OOH Matters

Dubai property developers have become increasingly visible in global sport, especially through English Premier League partnerships. Object 1’s new global partnership with Nottingham Forest FC is the latest example of how a Dubai based brand can use football to build international credibility and stay top of mind locally.

This also sits within a wider pattern that many buyers already recognise, such as Chelsea and DAMAC, and Arsenal and Sobha. For real estate, the aim is simple: build trust fast, reach high intent audiences, and give the brand a story that travels across borders.

What the Object 1 and Nottingham Forest partnership includes

From the deal details shared publicly, Object 1 has secured global partner status across the 2025 to 2026 season, with visibility tied to matchday and academy assets. That includes branding connected to the club’s academy teams and exposure on stadium style LED inventory, plus planned content activity that links the partnership back to Object 1’s developments in the UAE.

Just as importantly, the messaging around the partnership focuses on growth, community, and long term value. This is a natural fit for property marketing, where buyers need confidence as well as inspiration.

Why international football partnerships work for UAE property brands

They build familiarity with global buyers

Property is a high consideration purchase. A club partnership gives a developer a shortcut to familiarity, especially for international investors who may be new to Dubai but already follow the Premier League.

They add trust at the top of the funnel

A club partnership signals scale and seriousness. For developers, that matters when your audience includes overseas investors, expatriates, and frequent travellers who want reassurance before they book a viewing or request a brochure.

They open the door to always on storytelling

A single launch post is not enough. Football partnerships can be activated for months through match weeks, player stories, community initiatives, and behind the scenes content. That keeps a developer visible without needing to constantly change the core creative.

Why Object 1 would promote this partnership inside Dubai

If the goal is international awareness, why spend budget locally? Because Dubai is where many property decisions are shaped, even for overseas buyers.

Here are practical reasons this partnership is worth promoting across Dubai media:

Dubai is a meeting point for global audiences

Tourists, business travellers, and residents from every major market move through the city daily. A strong local OOH presence helps Object 1 reach people who are already physically in the UAE and more likely to convert into enquiries.

Local visibility supports broker and agent conversations

Real estate sales are relationship driven. When the brand is visible on major roads and in key districts, it supports the wider sales ecosystem. People feel they have “seen” the name before, which reduces friction when they are contacted or invited to an event.

It links the global story to local locations

The partnership creates attention, but OOH connects that attention to place. That is where Dubai outdoor becomes powerful: you can tie the club badge style awareness to a specific community, a sales gallery route, or a new launch corridor.

The best Dubai OOH formats to activate a sports partnership

A football partnership gives you the right to be talked about. OOH helps you make it unavoidable.

Billboards for mass reach and instant recognition

Large roadside billboards are ideal for announcing the partnership, especially with simple creative: club colours, a short headline, and a clear call to action.

Unipoles for high impact commuter frequency

Unipoles work well when you want repeated exposure on major routes. They suit bold branding and short messages aimed at drivers making daily trips.

Lampposts for neighbourhood and route based targeting

Lamppost advertising is a smart option around communities, sales centres, and key feeder roads. It is also great for building a “takeover” feel during launch weeks.

DOOH for flexible messaging and timed bursts

With DOOH you can rotate creative around matchdays, weekends, and peak viewing hours, or switch between brand and offer led messaging as the campaign progresses.

A simple activation plan Object 1 style brands can copy

• Phase 1, announcement: Billboards and unipoles with one clear message, the partnership is live, and a single URL or QR.
• Phase 2, local proof: Lamppost clusters near priority areas to connect the global story to Dubai places.
• Phase 3, performance: DOOH to promote viewing bookings, event invites, and limited time launch messages.

If you want the partnership to support lead generation, the key is keeping the creative clean and making the next step obvious.
